In your own words what is dog/hound hunting to you?
Myself I'm a ole deer runner and love it to the core.But at the end of the day, if I don't get a deer I'm not upset.Because to me thats not why I do it.Don't get me wrong I like to kill deer in front of the dogs.But thats only a small part of why I dog hunt.To me its about the race and the dogs in it.I find myself standing there listening to the race.And picking out what dog is in the lead and knowing why.I know the voice of every dog and can tell what they are doing by their voice.I'm picking out the voice of each dog.And I can tell by there voice what they are doing.Like how hot the race is and which dog is really putting its all into the race.I find myself listening for that pup I have been trying to start.And listening to the way the bawl and chop mouth dogs voices blend together when the race really gets hot.And to me its like a sweet music to my ears.I take pride in knowing thats my pack of dogs out there doing their best for me.And I know all the time and money I put into them was worth it for this race alone..And when I know they are coming to my crossing its a feeling of a excitement I can't even find the words to explain.If you have ever felt it you know what I mean.If you haven't felt it there is no way I can explain it to you.
And I can't forget about the others I hunt with being out there with, others who feel the same as you do.And all the friendly joking around.And the friendly ribbing we give each other when some has missed a deer.And seeing the look on someones face when they have downed their first deer.And the way we work together to help each other.Like pulling someone out of a mud hole they should have never tried to go through in the first place.But you do it because thats what we do help each other.And even if they are your dogs you can depend on everyone to help catch them.Well to tell the truth I can't put into words what dog hunting is to me.There is just so much about I love that I can't explain it.
I was hoping that some one here could do a better job of explaining why we dog hunt, better than I can.So lets hear it in your own words.What is dog hunting to you???
